I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11389 over the Draw-Tite # 24923 for your 2019 Lexus IS 350 because Curt hitches tend to have better welding and a thicker powder coat which contributes to a longer lasting trailer hitch. Attached are the written instructions as well as a sample photo of what this trailer hitch looks like installed for you to check out.

Most people who get a trailer installed on an IS 350 plan on using it for a bike rack. If this is you then I recommend using the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 because it is an aluminum rack that comes with a limited lifetime warranty and easy-to-use features, meaning you're getting a quality bike rack that will last a long time. The Sherpa 2.0 is offered in Black # SH12B, Gray # SH12G, and Pearl # SH12P to compliment the look of your vehicle. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you to reference.
